Have you been hearing about cleaning your face with oil yet? If not, you will soon. The Oil Cleansing Method is all the rage. If you’re new to the concept of cleaning your skin with oil this will sound like the most ludicrous, bizarre notion EVER. Because who puts oil on her face? Who??? Lots […]
As you probably know by know, we’re Mormon. And one of the rites of passage for Mormons is going on a mission when young adults turn 18 or 19 years old (it’s strongly encouraged for boys–being the fools that they are–but optional for girls). Part of the reason is to tell people about Jesus and all […]
I meant to write a review of all the books I read in 2011, but I could only remember about three of them. So I’ll try to dig around my bookshelf and jog my memory. But movies are much easier to remember. Mostly because there aren’t as many to choose from. As I’ve mentioned before, […]
So I’m starting a new feature. Today is my first Makeup Monday. Nope, it’s not about how Mister and I get in a big fight every weekend (we don’t. Usually.) It’s not about kids, crafts, photography or baking (moms who blog are not normally allowed to veer so far off topic like this). It’s about […]
Have you ever gotten sucked into a world that a few hours earlier you didn’t even know existed? That was me, today. Somehow I ran across a picture of an adorable dirndl dress on Pinterest. I knew that ladies in Austria and southern Germany still wear them occasionally but I had no idea that they […]

This is my sweet baby girl Adelaide. She is five today. For the first year of her life she rarely smiled. She also rarely frowned (except in this picture). She was just a placid, content little baby taking everything in and thinking long and hard. Sometime around a year and a half old a spunky […]

I have tried three times to write about a funny day that I had last week but right now The Funny has left me and I could only make it sound like a weird, slightly pathetic day. Life has been dealing harshly with me lately and I think I’m kind of in survival mode. So […]
Have you seen this desk? It’s pretty much the coolest thing around and I want one really badly. You have no idea how many crafting supplies I have stashed in various parts of my house. Wouldn’t it be nice to put them all in one place? Well, there is a way for me to get […]
Sometimes I see families at church that are very cuddly with each other. They’re all sitting on the pew with their arms around each other. This is not us. This is not how we are. I view them like I do people who have clean laundry rooms: with admiration, bafflement and a smidge of suspicion. […]
Confessions of things I have done recently: I found weevils in my flour, but didn’t throw it out until after I used it to make waffles for my kids. York: “What are these little black specks in my waffles?” Me: “Oh, just some burnt stuff that was stuck to the waffle […]
